THE MOB MUSEUM ANNOUNCES WINNER OF WALTER WHITE’S LAST RIDE
Entrant Wins 1977 Cadillac DeVille driven by Bryan Cranston in “Breaking Bad,” While Supporting The Mob Museum’s Mission
The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, announces the winner of its raffle for the 1977 Cadillac DeVille d’Elegance driven by none other than Bryan Cranston as Walter White, aka Heisenberg, in the jaw-dropping series finale of AMC’s acclaimed show. The lucky winner, Neil Landry of Henderson, NV, took home this iconic piece of television history on Tuesday, Jan. 28, after his winning entry had been pulled on Monday, Dec. 16, 2024.
Fans of the show and the Museum had the chance to purchase raffle tickets between Thursday, April 11 and Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024. Proceeds from the raffle are supporting The Mob Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in delivering its mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society through exhibits, public programming and other mission-driven activities. As the premier institution for organized crime history and content, The Mob Museum explores how TV, film and popular culture, such as AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” influence the public’s perception of crime in America.
The 1977 Cadillac DeVille d’Elegance made a notable appearance in the first episode of season five, “Live Free or Die,” as the series flashes forward to Walt’s final days. With his black-market hardware in the trunk, he drove off to secure his family’s future. Two versions of this vehicle were used for filming – a non-operational stunt car for the infamous M60 scene and this ready-to-drive, bullet hole-free, luxury DeVille that Cranston drove throughout the final episode.
“The raffle offered ‘Breaking Bad’ fans a rare chance to own a tangible piece of television history, while directly contributing to our mission,” said Ashley Miller, vice president of marketing, communications and sales at The Mob Museum. “The enthusiastic response underscores the show’s lasting impact and the strong dedication of our supporters to preserving cultural and historical storytelling.”
